Echeveria 'Ice Soul'

About Echeveria 'Ice Soul' 

Echeveria 'Ice Soul' is an elegant hybrid succulent admired for its frosty appearance and remarkable seasonal transformations. It is believed to be a cultivar derived from Echeveria Pure Love or a hybrid involving Echeveria Ice Green, although its exact parentage has not been officially documented.

The plant forms a neat, symmetrical rosette of thick, fleshy leaves covered in a soft white farina that gives it a silvery-gray appearance. Each leaf has a flat upper surface, a distinct triangular ridge on the underside, and finishes with a sharp, pointed tip. Under favorable growing conditions, especially with abundant sunlight and noticeable day-and-night temperature differences, the foliage gradually blushes pink or develops a translucent, jelly-like texture. One of its most prized features is the appearance of delicate diamond-like markings on the newest center leaves, followed by the formation of a translucent pink ""sugar heart"" at the center of the rosette, making E. 'Ice Soul' a highly desirable variety among collectors.

How to Care for Echeveria 'Ice Soul'

Sun/Location: Echeveria 'Ice Soul' performs best in a bright location with plenty of filtered light or several hours of gentle morning sun. Consistent light is essential for maintaining its compact, symmetrical rosette and encouraging the development of its signature diamond patterns and translucent ""sugar heart."" In climates with intense summer sunshine, provide protection from strong afternoon sun to preserve the farina and prevent leaf scorch. When grown indoors, place the plant near the brightest available window or supplement with a grow light to ensure even, balanced growth.

Soil/Pot: Use a loose, mineral-rich succulent mix that drains quickly after watering. A blend containing pumice, perlite, coarse sand, or lava rock allows the roots to breathe while reducing the likelihood of excess moisture. Plant 'Ice Soul' in a pot with drainage holes, and avoid oversized containers that hold water longer than necessary. Because the white farina is easily rubbed off, handle the leaves as little as possible during planting or repotting to preserve their natural frosted finish.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry thoroughly before watering again. Compared with many other Echeveria varieties, 'Ice Soul' benefits from slightly longer intervals between waterings, which helps maintain its compact growth and reduces the chance of uneven, protruding leaves often described by growers as ""buck teeth."" Water deeply, then allow the soil to dry completely before the next watering. During periods of extreme summer heat or winter cold, reduce watering frequency and ensure excellent ventilation to minimize the risk of rot.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
